One thing that continually amazes me about Trump is that all the opposition only deepens his resolve to stay true to his convictions. All recent Presidents (Clinton, Bush, Obama) gave lip service to their support of Israel, e.g. moving our Embassy to Jerusalem, only to wilt when faced with the actual decision.

Trump's recognition of Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights was a smart political move since the largest constituency of his base are white Evangelical Christians who favor Zionism because of the way they read Bible prophesies.

Once again zeek puts himself at odds with Evangelical Christians, going so far as to suggest that support for Trump is racially motivated.

I would suggest to the contrary, that Evangelical Christian support for Trump is based on his policies. Evangelical Christians, like myself, were highly skeptical of Trump's conservatism until he put forth his source list for SCOTUS nominations. Never have I seen a President (since Ronald Reagan) fight so hard for the security and safety of the American people, especially at the Southern border.
